The Algebra of Transgenderism: An Exploratory Mathematical Analysis By Brian Simpson

     An email came from Mrs Vera West, to me because I have some science/mathematics background as a high school teacher. The problem is “there is a person X who is a transgender woman, who now identifies as a male. What was X’s original socially constructed gender identity?”

To formalise this let the symbol TRANSWOMAN (X), be the individual at the present time T. As transgenderism requires only thinking and identifying, X is now TRANSMALE(X), i.e. there is a trans-transformation function (?):

(?)  TRANSWOMAN(X)T-n ? TRANSMALE(X)T, for T and n, non-zero real numbers, less than say the human life span or say 120 years.

     However, previously for X to be TRANSWOMAN(X), X must have undergone a TRANS. Hence X was originally a male, social constructed, became a socially constructed female, then a socially constructed male again. It’s simple; it is all social construction, as easy as falling off of a socially constructed log.

     It would be sexist, or transphobic, to assume that X has gone back to an original socially constructed state. Maleness is not only socially constructed, but historically constructed as well, so X has achieved a new level of socially constructed gender identity. You are what you think you are, not what society says you are. That really would be social construction!
